That's very strange. The test plugin installs fine for me on my various Linux installations. Please verify that you have not renamed the plugin's zip file. That will definitely break things and cause the error message you are seeing. Plugins' zip files have a strict naming convention that much match internal names/structures.

This got me looking at my download procedure. And my inexperience with github is at fault here. I just went to the link provided, saw "testplugin_v010.zip" on the bottom of the doc listings and right clicked and downloaded. This got me a file of the good name, 42.5kb in size, a text file not recognised as an archive.
This time, I clicked on the "testplugin_v010.zip" and opened in a new tab. Wondering what to do in that new tab, I saw a 'view raw' link which when clicked gave me an invite to save to disk. The download was of exactly the same name but only 3kb and was really an archive.
Needless to say, it loads correctly into sigil.
Obviously no one has met a dumbo like me on the forum or they would have suggested I could have been downloading from github in an incorrect manner. I was merely doing what I had been doing on internet since 1991. Clearly I have stuff to learn about github.
Sorry about that.
